My wife was a big fan of the show, but she has started watching "The Real Deal" on TLC, because the Trademark Properties group was the most entertaining.

There are a lot of ways to make things look like they are done. You can only paint/stain one coat (it will look done right afterwards, but will fade quickly). You can finish the front of cabinets, but not fully secure them to the wall. You can improperly install countertops.

My dad is a general contractor, and he tells stories all the time where he gets called to finish someone else's job. They make it look ok, get the money, but don't take the necessary steps to finish the job correctly. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't know anything about remodeling and construction, so they have no idea that a job is done badly until it's too late.
